FX Experience Has Gone Read-Only

I've been maintaining FX Experience for a really long time now, and I love hearing from people who enjoy my weekly links roundup. One thing I've noticed recently is that maintaining two sites (FX Experience and JonathanGiles.net) takes more time than ideal, and splits the audience up. Therefore, FX Experience will become read-only for new blog posts, but weekly posts will continue to be published on JonathanGiles.net. If you follow @FXExperience on Twitter, I suggest you also follow @JonathanGiles. This is not the end - just a consolidation of my online presence to make my life a little easier!

tl;dr: Follow me on Twitter and check for the latest news on JonathanGiles.net.

Announcing: Scenic View 8.0.0!

It’s been a really long time in the making, but I’m pleased to announce the final release of Scenic View 8.0.0. This release is the culmination of a huge amount of work, and whilst not perfect, is a good starting point for further discussion and refinement. The other big aspect of this release is the fact that Scenic View is now open source – yay! 🙂

Given the large number of developer preview releases there should be no surprises as to what to expect in this release – it is just bug fixing at this point. However, now that 8.0.0 is out I hope that we can accelerate the development of the project by getting more people into the code base and helping to refine, improve, and simplify it. Please, take it for a spin and be sure to file bugs over at the new bug tracker.

Finally, here’s a sneak peak of what might be coming up in a future release of Scenic View:

Go forth and download! I know the release isn’t wart-free, but I need your help to diagnose and resolve the issues. Thanks!

    The bug tracker is still private. Great work though!

    The 3D view is a very nice feature. However I would prefer a “cell shading” like rendering instead of those boxes. Just my 2 cent…

    I can’t get it to work with FXCanvas (SWT-JavaFX integration). The ScenicView can pop up and show the tree of nodes, but all details are missing and in console it prints “No JavaFX window found” every second. Is there source code published somewhere so I can fix the issue myself?

    Hello – For some reason when I run scenic view as an executable jar, it no longer finds the app I am running from eclipse fx. Is there a way to reset it? The only thing I did was change my JDK from 64 bit to 32 bit to build an exe for testing on a client machine, which I then set back… It’ s just odd?

    I have had no luck getting Scenic View to discover my running app. I am using Eclipse FX – Luna.

    The properties for the Scenic View are:

    #ScenicView properties
    #Thu Jan 22 07:51:49 MST 2015
    jdkPath=C\:\\Program Files\\Java\\jdk1.8.0_40

    The build path for my app is:
    C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_40

    So from what I can tell it’s all lined up OK.

    Any thoughts?

    Same issue as Natsu; it continuously shows “Scanning for JavaFX applications” but can’t find my app, running in a 64-bit Java 8 JVM.

      A little more detail: Scenic View debug output indicates it has found 4 JavaFX applications running; and in my app’s console output, I see
      Launching agent server on:7567:7558:2892:true
      So it appears to have discovered my app and connected. Yet it still shows the “Scanning for JavaFX applications” animation.

        I have the same symptoms as you DaveK, running version 8.6.0

    ScenicView 8.0.0 jar won’t launch on JDK 8 under OS X:

    java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/sun/javafx/Utils

    Neither double-clicking the jar, nor running with java -jar works.

    same as Natsu and DaveK

    it always shows “Scanning for JavaFX applications” nothing else.

    looks like some java version problem
